Article Synopsis
- GVHD is a rare but serious complication after liver transplantation, where donor immune cells can attack the recipient's cells, complicating diagnosis due to vague symptoms and histopathological features.
- A systematic review analyzed literature on the role of HLA typing and chimerism analysis in diagnosing GVHD, finding these methods generally helpful but noting inconsistencies in their application and timing.
- The study emphasizes the need for more research to better understand GVHD incidence post-liver transplant and to enhance diagnostic practices, suggesting a reevaluation of guidelines to incorporate HLA typing and chimerism analysis for improved risk assessment.
